Android Question Translate HttpResponse

A web server returns the date of a file as a string of which carry two examples below:

[Mon, 09 Jan 2017 14:58:02 GMT]
[Fri, 28 Oct 2016 17:29:09 GMT]

Is there any function that turns this string in ticks?

You need to parse the date by yourself i guess.

Maybe you can use datetime.dateformat to setup the correct placeholder to parse such a date

Thank you. That 's what I've done, but I thought that we could do with a more compact code.
